The surgery went well. I went in The oporating room like 730 . Then the doctor said to the anestegiologist hey marlene is really nervous can she get a little something to calm her and I was out. I ony have to spot one up hi in my belly and the other in my belly button. My doctor does the single insision in ur belly button.I was gonna stay and decided I wanted to go home. Last night was rough. Today I am making sure to get up and waoknaround carefully. I have the week off and next too if I need it.I really am doing well. Thanks

That's good hope you start feeling a lot better I know its tough to move around those first few days. Just make sure to keep walking around I would walk every hour for 5-10 min and I think that helped me recover very well. Keep us posted on your recovery.

Congratulations on your surgery and quitting smoking! I quit smoking right before my surgery and it is the best thing I have ever done. I am a little over a year smoke free! A lot of positive changes all at once - you can do it!! Good Luck to you!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
